When WPA muralist Eugene Savage visited the Florida Everglades in the 1930s, he became enchanted with the local Seminole Indian tribe and spent the next 20 years depicting them. Using shifting perspectives and expressionistic brushstrokes, Savage rendered these marginalized people in a style reminiscent of Diego Rivera or Josť Clemente Orozco. In many of these 40 full color reproductions, the Seminoles drift tranquilly in their canoes, but in others the threat of modernization makes itself felt. The introduction traces the development of Savage's art and his lifelong respect for the Native American way of life.
